Botany in Communication

We wouldn’t have posters without paper, and we wouldn’t have paper without trees. Posters were one the earliest forms of advertisement, and they are to this day the most cost-effective form of promotion. But we also buy posters for their design and art value, as well. Today, I talk with Angelina Lippert, Poster House chief curator, the first museum in the US—based in New York—dedicated exclusively to posters. She will tells us, of course, how plants and nature are represented on posters, but also the value of collecting them as historical documents. Angelina will talk about the World’s most famous posters and why they are so valuable. Heidi Smith, Poster House director of retail operations, is joining us as well to discuss why buying objects with great craftsmanship from a museum’s store is like bringing part of its collection home, and will highlight a few favorites that make great holiday gifts.
